Its one of those difficult things. Finding out about good jobs, and getting the
word out about good jobs. Last time I posted a job in Southern NH (portsmouth)
I got very very few applicants. I plan on doing a better job getting the word
out next time. (not just yet)

This is pretty important. I know in under 10 questions I can get a basic
gauge of your technical abilities.

Oh I fully agree that one should have a wide range of skills. Nothing wrong
with learning new languages. I was just pointing out that if the reason for
learning the new language was specifically to get more remote development
work, that's probably not going to happen. At least not initially.

Any lead programmer who would interview a remote developer will be able to

Amen, brother. 'Xactly.
Don't get me wrong. I still hope CF is my main bread and butter. But in the
last year or so, I've really lost a LOT of business to folks who need an app or
site redeveloped who won't or can't add a CF server to their existing hosting
situation or move to hosting that off

Me too.
I've never met 80% of my clients.
I've never even talked to 50% of them on the phone.
I'm pulling 16 hour days right now trying to keep up and am about to
pull my hair out.
I've been thinking about outsourcing some of my work to India so I can
take a break! Rea
If it's about a big available pool of jobs, why not learn Java? It would
have the added benefit of being something that you could use along with CF.

When I was freelance I didn't have much trouble finding remote CF work. I
don't think trying to switch to Rails or PHP is going to help you much.
People base their desire let you work remotely based on your experience and
skill level. I can't imagine someone hiring a remote Rails or PHP developer

I'm a CF freelancer. The problem I've found is no one who does use CF wants to
hire a telecommuter ... I'm beginning my Ruby on Rails class tonight so I can
stay afloat.

I'll miss ColdFusion but I gotta feed my family.

You could always move to a major city, make your duckets there, then move

I wish there were more CF jobs north of Boston into New Hampshire and S. Maine.
I'm sure I'm not the only CF developer that doesn't live in a major city that
would like
to find a full-time CF developer position in their area. I'd like to see more
jobs so
we as developers could have more options.
